Questions

What is this ceremony called in our tradition?
It goes by different names across India — Seemantham in Telugu and Tamil families, Valaikappu particularly in Tamil Nadu with its bangle ceremony, Godh Bharai across much of the north, Shrimant in Maharashtra. The invitation uses the name your family uses.
When is it usually held?
Most commonly in the later months of pregnancy, with the exact timing varying by community and family practice. Your family elders or purohit will usually fix the date.
Can we state a colour theme?
Yes. Where a family is keeping to a colour for the occasion, the invitation can say so clearly so guests know before they dress.
Can it be in our regional language?
Yes, set in the correct script alongside English or in place of it.
